ONLY 150km? Geez... you guys ought to have a 1000km ship SOMEWHERE.... The gargant next to it would be comparable to a Ulysses next to the Colossus. The Colossus wouldn't be noticeable on the scale...

General rule I set up a while ago:

No ship should be larger than the play area unless it really has to be.

DeepSpace9er · **Reply #142 on:** July 10, 2003, 11:39:54 am

consider it an "exception" to your rule... it follows Murphy's law doesnt it?

1000km ships look ugly, and it would just be a prop since it would be pointless to turret a ship of this size.

Wow... that's EXCESSIVE. And very nice looking [unless you happen to be the enemy of this thing:D ].

I'm thinking of making a mod after I finish T&T that will have its own universe (roughly based on the game Tyrian but almost completely different except for a few names and a vague resemblance of certain ships to their Tyrian counterparts), but I'll need some modelers to make models for it. The largest ship there will be a 58km planet-smasher (I'll probably need a new build of FS2_Open since it's gonna have almost a thousand turrets or maybe more (many of the turrets won't even have submodels). It only makes in-game appearances a few times: in one mission you watch helplessly as it tears 8km battlecruisers to shreds, and in another you have to destroy it before it can fire its main gun and turn the planet Savara into space dust.

Anyway, I wouldn't make a ship bigger than 58km.

they swarm it with supercharged hermesses, using brainwashed HoL members as suicide bombers.

or wait, that could take some time, right?

and perhaps "it comes in peace"

The Gargant is HUGE, the colossus looks pipsqueak comapred to it. How can such a colossal ship exist? it must've taken the Shivans billions of years. And the logistics, oh the logistcs. Such a thing cannot be. How was it built? They couldent build a shipyard that big could they?

It must have a weakness. There's no such thing as an undefeatable enemy.

Come on guys, what's its weakness?...

...Guys...

...Umm, guys, it does have a weakness right?...

...You did give it a weakness didnt you?...

...No?...

...WERE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

less sugar would do you some good.

Woomeister · **Reply #149 on:** July 31, 2003, 03:00:45 pm

The Gargant has no weakness, the Icanus can barely damage it.

Corhellion · **Reply #150 on:** July 31, 2003, 03:31:08 pm

...what about the species that even the shivans fear?

;7;7

Icanus will be destroyed I bet...but oh well..

The Shivans are the strongest species offensively in INF

Shivans have more powefrul weapons
Ancients have huge defense and speed but lack shields
Terrans are average
EA have the best anti-fighter defense, but poorer ant-cap weapons
Vasudans are similar to Terrans but have more tatical weapons (Apothess for example)

phreak · **Reply #152 on:** July 31, 2003, 04:06:13 pm

all we'd have to do is crash one of the motherships into the gargant at warpin speed

Woomeister · **Reply #153 on:** July 31, 2003, 04:19:55 pm

Neither of the motherships is used anymore

phreak · **Reply #154 on:** July 31, 2003, 04:31:39 pm

you didn't need to tell them

T-Man · **Reply #155 on:** July 31, 2003, 04:37:04 pm

Sorry Deepblue, got a little over the top.

By the way, i think i just had an idea (trust me, it hurt).

The Gargant and Gigas both have subspace weapons, and both are very rare ships.

So the Shivans would have spare parts in front line cargo depots.

Meaning they'd have spare parts for the Subspace weapons.

I have no idea of the size of the Gigas compared to the Icanus, but if both are of similar size, then its possible that if a subspace weapon could be captured intact, then the Icanus might be able to arm it, and fire it on the Gargant.

This will probably only do a little damage, but might by the GTVA time to regroup.

What is the inter damage radious of the Gargant

Species 8472?

SadisticSid · **Reply #158 on:** August 09, 2003, 02:04:47 pm

With the power to tear suns apart, the Shivans don't really have anyone to fear. They've pretty much mastered the concept of 'mass destruction'.

Sid.

FA-PILO · **Reply #159 on:** August 09, 2003, 06:09:59 pm

I have an idea to defeat the Gargant, you dont need to destroy the ship why not attack it from the inside with assault troops

wel there is going to be a very very large assault
